ionvac SmartClean V4 Self Emptying Robot Vacuum with Mapping User Guide
Introduction
DOES THE WORK FOR YOU
This intelligent vacuum travels through living spaces, bedrooms, kitchens and more, to deliver a cleaning experience that’s hassle-free and stays out of your way. It can easily navigate from hardwood floors to rugs and carpets with gripping rubber wheels. Looking under the hood of this smart vac, you’ll see a complete cleaning system equipped with side brushes that pull dirt and debris into the suction area, a roller brush to capture even the smallest particles, and a powerful suction vent that draws dirt, dust, and debris into a large dustbin. The Smart Clean vacuum stays safe and accurate with its gyroscopic mapping feature, and built-in multidirectional movement and sensors that identify stairs and avoid collisions.
Its slim frame quietly utilizes a super-efficient, 3-stage cleaning system that has four modes and can be operated via remote or the tzumi Smart Home app, compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. Program it to clean when you want, and when the job is done (or the battery is running low), the Smart Clean robo vac V4 returns to its dock for automatic charging. In addition, it automatically empties its dustbin into the dock so it’s always ready for next time.
Clean smarter, not harder.
